Just a few lawsuits after section 230 repeal will cause vastly more moderation and the disappearance of many or most comment sections. This isn't going to lead to a free speech valhalla.
I think I'm implicitly assuming that laws are equally applied, which is increasingly untrue.

- lesuorac 11mo agoI mean we don't know it for sure; but we do know it. It's like saying repealing laws prohibiting dumping lead into drinking water (ex. Prop 67) won't cause companies to dump lead into water. But like we passed prop 67 because companies were dumping lead. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act was added because people were sueing websites over comments not made by staff in their comments section.
